Chainsaw Repair

I wouldn't mind having the poster's location show up in the poster info section on the left.

Thats been there since I started the site last year and I do not feel making it mandatory is necessary JMO. . It is voluntary and all you need to do is add the info there if you wish. 

 Right under post count.  Under forum profile  just add info to  Personal Text.  Look at mine I did it to show you.



You can also add location in location section and people will see location when they click on your name.  I see yours is Vermont, just add to personal text to make show up under post count if you like.
